No, not a new bike, but a beautiful newborn baby girl. She's wonderful and makes me very very happy, but how to find the time to ride my bike? Any of you out there with experience in these matters, who'd like to give me some tips?

its where you stop riding and put on 30 lbs and then realise its tough getting back in shape, my 1st daughter was demanding, but my 2nd i found more time fore exercise, sleep patterns will dominate your training time, we found that during the summer months with longer nights , it was easier to get her to sleep earlier, giving mom and dad a little "off" time, also maybe ask your parents to sit once in a while.In the winter just use the turbo (boring i know but its keeps you fit)But never forget they are magical times and dont miss her growing up.

I had my first literally two weeks before I rode the Etape du Tour last year. I was at the height of my powers...until baby arrived. Within two weeks, I had hit rock bottom, and arrived at the Tour completely exhausted.

But that's ok, because I was an ecstatic dad.

Invariably, things will change, so ride when you can, but enjoy your family first - and who knows, in a few years you might all ride together...

Kids will drain your will to live as they age, but in return they'll give you some weird sense of satisfaction. It is the kind of malaise and pride filled feeling only the criminally insane mind and the parental mind will understand. if you never drink or use drugs, you will crave them after a while.

I have 2 sons and wouldn't trade them for the world. One thing I never understood my dad saying when I was younger became very evident as I became a parent: "When you have children and you CARE, you must choose between being their friend or being their parent. Pick one because you will never have both regardless of how hard you try or how much you want it". Very true!!!
